'The Fabric is everywhere, it is all around us. … You take the blue schist and the story ends. You wake in your trench and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red schist and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the subsoil goes.' - Morpheus (allegedly) #archaeology #potsherds #Daskalio #Keros #BronzeAge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daskalio

DNA traces on medieval parchment reveal 3,700-year history of deadly sheeppox virus

Medieval manuscripts preserve genetic traces of a sheep disease that has threatened herds across Eurasia for more than 3,700 years, according to a new study. Researchers recovered ancient DNA from sheeppox virus, or SPPV, in animal skins used to make parchment...

Archaeologists in Sweden uncovered 82 ancient pits dating back nearly 3,000 years. The site may have hosted massive feasts and rituals, but its true purpose remains unknown.

So, in addition to demonizing #Matriarchal societies, #Homer took a stab at the survivors of the #BronzeAgeCollapse on #Crete by turning them into the #Cyclops! Not a surprise! I noticed that #Odysseus eyed the "Cyclops Island" as prime #RealEstate (like a typical #Colonist!). Of course the so-called "civilized" #AncientGreeks had to demonize peoples who had lived under female rulers or NO RULERS!

Were the Odyssey’s #Cyclopes Actually #Minoans?

By Caleb Howells, January 6, 2026

Excerpt: "Drawing on his experience sailing a replica of an Ancient Greek galley, Severin estimated that Odysseus would have reached the coast of Libya, specifically near the site that later became the Greek colony of Cyrene. This was the Land of the Lotus Eaters. From there, Odysseus resumed his journey back to Ithaca, logically sailing north toward Southern Greece. Along this route, he would likely have arrived at the southwestern corner of #Crete, where the peninsula of #Paleochora was once separated from the main island, forming a small offshore island.

"This scenario closely matches the Odyssey’s description of Odysseus arriving at a small island situated just beside the island where the Cyclopes lived.

How the Cyclopes match the Minoans of Crete

"Severin’s argument that Crete was the island of the Cyclopes is highly compelling. But how do the Minoans fit into this theory? Regarding the Minoan city of Kommos in southern Crete, Severin noted its abandonment in the Late Bronze Age and asked:

" 'What had happened to the survivors of Kommos and the other Minoan settlements along this coast? Could they have fallen back to the barest subsistence level, living in caves and practicing the sort of simple pastoral farming that Ulysses found among the Cyclopes?'

"In essence, Severin suggested that the Cyclopes of the Odyssey may have been Minoans who, after the collapse of their magnificent #BronzeAge civilization, returned to a #simpler, more primitive way of life. While Severin did not explore this idea in depth, a closer examination reveals there is substantial evidence for this."

#FindsFriday! In 2021, we carried out an exciting excavation in Großmugl, where we documented settlement remains from the #BronzeAge and #IronAge. The #EarlyBronzeAge #pottery included several highlights: vessels decorated with rows of impressions, incised lines, and punctuated dots, some filled with white inlay, like the fragments shown here! #Archaeology #Ceramics #ArchaeologicalFinds #Excavation #EuropeanPrehistory #MaterialCulture #Austria #History #Österreich

Scientists Have Uncovered Evidence Of #Ireland's Largest #Prehistoric #Hillfort Settlement

“In a recent study [(link above), the authors] identified more than 600 suspected house platforms in the Brusselstown Ring hillfort [Ireland], making it the largest nucleated settlement ever discovered in the entirety of prehistoric Britain and Ireland thus far. Subsequent test excavations revealed evidence of Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age occupation as well as a potential water cistern, which may be the very first of its kind in an Irish hillfort…”
